IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
IBM Tivoli Agent Builder
The Agent Builder is a wizard that makes it easier to build custom monitoring solutions. Using mostly point and click capabilities, the Agent Builder allows you to create a monitoring agent using multiple data providers such as WMI, Perfmon, Log scraping, scripts, and process monitoring. Over time additional data providers will be added to the Agent Builder.
For more information about Agent Builder, see the Agent Builder User's Guide.
Note to Windows users: Since the introduction of the Embedded Java Runtime and the Tivoli Enterprise Services User Interface Extensions (the KUE component) at IBM Tivoli Monitoring V6.2.2, the possibility has existed that, on nodes where only the Windows OS agent was installed, the Embedded Java Runtime and the User Interface Extensions were not also installed. If you later attempt to install an Agent Builder agent on such nodes, you may receive the error shown in Figure 1. If this happens, complete the procedure outlined in Install the Embedded Java Runtime and the User Interface Extensions, and retry the agent installation.
